Just as our unpredictable spring weather follows a two-steps-forward, one-step-back pattern, our yoga practice can seem to do much the same. One day, a balance pose feels so effortless that we convince ourselves that we have conquered the shape, only to stumble out of the very same pose when the teacher offers a new variation the next day.
Yoga is full of endless opportunities to challenge ourselves, explore novel movements, revisit trusted classics, and stay humble. If you ask us, the invitation to embrace the journey on the mat is what makes yoga so special. And, when we stay dedicated to the practice, we discover that the execution of the tough pose was actually not the point after all. The point, rather, is to become more adept at embracing and staying centered despite the stumbles.
So, let's move, breathe, and enjoy the journey together. Thanks - as always - for reading and practicing with us!
